In need of a victory to prolong their season, Atlanta United will host the Columbus Crew in game two of that best-of-three MLS Cup playoff series on Tuesday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
On Wednesday, the Crew came away with a comfortable 2-0 triumph in what was the first-ever playoff match at Lower.com Field.
We say: Atlanta United 2-1 Columbus Crew
With Almada back in the fold, we expect to see a much more aggressive and determined Atlanta side in this one, and his vision and passing ability should enable the Five Stripes to create more chances and find a way through an inconsistent Crew defensive unit.

Orlando City can win their first-ever away fixture in the MLS Cup playoffs when they head to GEODIS Park for game two of their best-of-three series against Nashville SC on Tuesday.
A goal four minutes from the interval in match one was enough to propel the Lions to a 1-0 victory, the first in their history in normal time.
We say: Nashville SC 1-1 Orlando City (Orlando City wins on penalties)
For as good as the Nashville backline have been all season, they have not been able to get it together anywhere else on the field, and that has to be a cause for concern as they face elimination.
The Lions are a scrappy and resilient bunch who have shown poise away from home and made their chances count, and we believe they will maintain that composure when needed in this match.
